Abstract:project delivery performance for the various contracting methods that are
applicable for CTDOT’s use. The report is structured in two parts. Part A covers overall
project deliverability and Part B is focused on environmental review processes and
permitting. An overview of the study’s recommendations is as follows: CTDOT leadership
should articulate the department’s vision and objectives for project delivery performance
and continue to foster and improve internal relations to instill a shared production
culture and team orientation among designers, engineers, environmental regulators, and
associated construction entities; to achieve the goals as set forth in the state’s
transportation capital program plans, it is expected that CTDOT and the Connecticut
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will require additional staffing and
flexibility to engage consultants to fill staffing gaps, especially to meet short-term
needs; establish key project delivery performance measures to monitor processes using
data-driven analysis to identify areas for improvement, and justify needed funding and
staffing levels; a useful strategy for improving constructability and ensuring the
success of all projects, regardless of the project delivery method used, is early and
continuous contractor and regulator involvement to enable design and constructability to
be considered concurrently; to enhance environmental benefits and minimize environmental
impacts of a project, a holistic design approach should be used that includes early and
collaborative discussions between designers, construction managers, and environmental
regulators. The practice of sequential design reviews for environmental considerations
should be replaced with over-the-shoulder reviews where environmental considerations are
integrated into overall project design; use the project delivery method and contractor
selection method that best fits a project’s challenges and objectives to achieve
potential benefits; a consultant should be engaged to guide the development and
implementation of alternative contracting methods (ACMs) processes, and for training
CTDOT staff in all aspects of scoping, procurement and contracting, and managing the
relationships between CTDOT and design and construction project teams in the use of ACMs.
